I mean, when you give Nazi salutes, and advocate for treating people like shit and removing the supports that keep them alive, and specifically target ‘undesirables’, I mean, that earns you the “Nazi” achievement, bro. You do understand that, right? 🤣
Response for the two options this may be.
Poe Principle: Don’t do this. Don’t give them ideas, because they’ll take your idea and run with it. The shitheads on the other side don’t just believe in this crap, but they WANT to believe in this crap, because they are shitheads.
True Believer: Your god is a hateful god and not the God of Christianity. Buzz off now.
Canada took one look at what Poilievre had to offer, looked at the guy who is spewing much the same crap down here, and decided maybe they didn’t want anything to do with that and stuck with liberals. It doesn’t mean that the CPC doesn’t have a shot at a victory next election. They did get more seats this time than in 2021. And they probably can just ditch the anti-woke nonsense and campaign on kitchen table issues next election. If LPC doesn’t get its act together and address Canadian citizens pain, that will probably work for the CPC. Hopefully the Shitgibbon won’t make good on his threats to annex Canada.
I see your whataboutism and respond with what your mother should have told you: Two wrongs don’t make a right. Does anything you said have anything to do with promising us the sun, moon, and stars and delivering more cashola for the moneyed class?
I prefer Dems to Reps, but man, you got your head so far up the Democratic Party’s ass with this bullshit you’re spewing here that you can taste what they had for lunch!
You completely missed the point, like the other commentor who dropped a similar load of excrement on my comment did. Let me spell it out for you. Don’t promise the sun, moon, and stars, when your plan is to put my face in the dirt for the corpos who actually pay your bills. Dem voters get tired of that shit.
Of course not. Don’t promise things you never intend on delivering on.
I agree with your take, but I’d like to add some context to it.
Dems constantly go on about the things they want to fix. Public Healthcare. Free College. Money out of politics. Clean air. Clean Water. Etc. But for all the promises they make, we got a Republican healthcare plan that didn’t even include a Public Option, college is more expensive than ever, money is rampant in politics, and all of this with a dose of increased cost of living from housing through food.
I can see grousing that “Yeah, I don’t like what the Shitgibbon is doing, but at least he’s doing what he promised to do!” I think Dems need to take notice here, but the question is: What will they do when the moneyed class starts yanking their chains? Because I am sure the moneyed class is perfectly happy with a fascist takeover of the USA.
Then you missed an opportunity to justify that opinion.
Germany isn’t perfect. Nobody is. But there is no lie that the USA no longer is the bastion of freedom it claimed to be, but is a lot more like 1930s Germany than today’s Germany is. Let’s talk some facts.
Germany scores 40/40 in terms of political rights, and 55/60 on Civil Liberties. This score matched their 2023 score, and while the 2024 report isn’t done yet, we can get a look at 2023’s view. Germany collected all available points on the political side of the equation, for its Mixed Proportional Representation system, vibrant political parties, and good political system balance. The areas it gets dinged on include:
Perhaps you take exception to ‘gave rise to Fascism’ and ‘unleashed two world wars’? I get you. From a pure factuality standpoint, this statement leaves something to be desired. Germany didn’t give rise to Fascism. IMO, that ‘honour’ goes to Italy. And World War 1 was mostly started by Austria. but let’s be clear here. Germany viewed the fight between Austria and Bosnia to be just the opening it needed to take on Russia and France. And World War 2? 100% started by Germany, in their quest to find lebensraum, or living space, while they displaced undesirables like Jews and Slavs. While Italy started Fascism, it was Germany that objectively planned to bring its own brand of fascism globally. Maybe you’d prefer: “The nation that fanned the flames of both world wars, starting one and enlarging the other, and was the largest force for the spread of the toxic ideology of Fascism, has become a global model of democracy”?
I agree with the rest of it, too. The USA has fallen to becoming what we fought against in the 1940s. And Germany may well become what has to fight against to us in the 2030s…
Good. We are in agreement.
Harris would not have started a trade war, drove all the people who were willing to work for cheap out of the country, put millions of American SSI cheques in jeopardy, fired hundreds of thousands of rank and file workers who make things run, let alone shelled out millions of dollars to outsource gulags in El Salvador. If you mean ‘more or less the same’ as in like 2024, sure, I agree with you. If you mean ‘more or less the same’ to say we’d be facing the same problems under a hypothetical Harris admin, not just no but hell the fuck no, we wouldn’t have.
Definitely hope for the best that we’ll actually get healthy food from this, but expect the worst in that they will fuck it up and somehow make us sicker.
They might not even get it when it affects them. As long as the leopards eat their enemies faces, they’re OK with having the leopards eat their faces as well. Hate is a powerful motivator, unfortunately.
I think the worry here is that the protests are only attracting tens of thousands in each venue, and a few million at most nation-wide. These numbers should be higher. 75 million people voted for Harris. Another 2 million voted for third parties. And 90+ million stayed home. Big cities should have hundreds of thousands or even millions in the street, and imagine what would happen if a cool 100m turned out nation-wide tomorrow.
The worry is that we won’t get even 10% of those numbers, and a nation of 330m will be led to Fascism by 77.5m people actively supporting it and another 90m just whistling past the grave.
This is why we need to move everyone over here. Everyone who is here who can still talk on Reddit should link posts to here and encourage people to leave. Alternatively go to the Denver Discord. But we need to get off Reddit. Like others have said. Reddit admins are most definitely hard-right with their heads so far up Trump and the Republicans collective ass that they can taste what they had for dinner…
And this is the bullshit reasoning that got us into this mess.
The time to have principles is in the Primary, where you and your buddies go out and convince the rest of the Democratic leaning people that maybe we should impress AOC or some other leftie to run in the Primaries, then convince people in places like this to vote for that leftie in the Primary. Once the Primary happens, you have to weigh what happened and will happen, and vote accordingly. By not voting, the people you’re insisting I have compassion for voted for the Shitgibbon and everything he has done. Harris might have continued funding the IDF, but because of the people you’re sucking up to here, Trump is directly supporting the genocide with an eye for preemo real-estate after it’s said and done.
Don’t be stupid and enable that cruelty. Wait. Too late for that~!
It starts making sense when you remember that the GQP’s biggest beef with Kerry is the same beef they have with Obama and Clinton and Biden.
The GQP’s biggest beef is that all of those folks and many more are Democrats and get in the way of their Permanent Republican Majority.
Not quite,
Overall, 50 percent of those polled said they disapprove of “recent tariffs announced by Donald Trump,” split between 39 percent for “strongly disapprove” and 11 percent for “somewhat disapprove.” By contrast 39 percent said they approve, of which 21 percent did so “strongly” while 18 percent did so “somewhat.”
It is still disappointing that 39% will align with Trump despite all of this, but keep in mind that there’s a floor to Trump’s support numbers. We’ll never be able to approach all of them.
Let’s see what happens on the undecideds over the next few months as the impact of Trump’s tariffs hit. Heck, keep an eye on that 18% “Somewhat Approve”. That’s got to make some of the GQP reps a bit nervous!
Indeed. Hence my ‘if they are willing to take it’ bit. They most likely aren’t.
This is a great article, more than just bait for “You voted for leopards eating faces and now you’re surprised that a leopard ate your face” comments.
There’s a great opportunity for Dems here, if they are willing to take it. Point out to the conservative little people that Trump’s friends are the rich and powerful and the little conservatives will get nothing and like it. Highlight that Trump is hurting farmers so he and his rich buddies can get a tax cut. Remind them that the GQP doesn’t care about people. It only exists to get stupid rich off of everyone’s labour.
…twice!
